Today, we join others around the world marking International Overdose Awareness Day as we work to end overdose deaths, remember without stigma those lost, and acknowledge the grief felt by those left behind. Find nearby services: https://mha.nshealth.ca/en

Naloxone saves lives. It is safe, free and easy to use. Yet stigma remains a barrier to getting naloxone into the hands of Nova Scotians. That’s why Nova Scotia Health developed a series of videos aimed at raising awareness about and promoting access to naloxone, with funding and support from the Health Services Foundation of The South Shore. http://www.nsnaloxone.com/

International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) – held on August 31 every year – is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind. The theme for 2024 is “Together we can”, highlighting the power of our community when we all stand together. To learn more please visit www.overdoseday.com #TogetherWeCan #IOAD2024 #EndOverdose
